No decline in new Wisconsin HIV cases

With advancements in technology and education, the number of new HIV cases in Wisconsin have not gone down the past few years.

The state reported about 400 new cases of HIV in the past year.

Bill Keeton of the AIDS Resource Center Resource Center of Wisconsin said HIV/AIDS is a never ending never-ending battle.

"We have more and more people at risk for HIV than ever before," said Keeton.

A new report from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said of the roughly 400 new HIV cases Wisconsin saw in 2012, six were in La Crosse County. That number is about double the average of what the county normally sees.

While men having sex with men and people sharing needles are still the most at-risk, a new group of people is becoming more affected.

"We're seeing more and more infections among young people than ever before and that's really concerning," said Keeton.
